Sorry, Houston, writes SD Lifeguard union head
So Harris is the one politicizing that Kev-boy had fire chief Brian Hennessy send firefighters *to a flood*, but no lifeguards? And Puetz isn't violating the 12-month cooling-off rule on trying to peddle influence by still spox-ing Kev-boy? And the local Republicans say they have nothing in common with Trump, except risking lives in political games and not following ethics laws?— August 29, 2017 9:19 a.m.
Faulconer commands the merry-go-round
As the article makes clear, it's Sanders who commands the merry-go-round—Kev-boy is just his hurdy-gurdy monkey.— August 25, 2017 3:59 p.m.
Irene Valenti claims to be matchmaker for the rich
That wasn't a complaint on my part. But calling me by the feminine of my name is ;-)— August 23, 2017 3:15 p.m.
Irene Valenti claims to be matchmaker for the rich
Nicely structured profile, Don. Saving her "thank the Lord" for last sealed any possible crack of doubt that she's a con without a conscience.— August 23, 2017 11:50 a.m.
City to pay for public-records case fumble
We keep seeing problems with municipal compliance with Public Records Act requests, but the worst problem is what we're *not* seeing. Sukumar prevailed in this case only because he *knew* what he was looking for—those "additional emails and photographs" which he was already aware existed—still had not been produced. The rest of us have to take the word of whomever gets handed the hot potato that they'll give you all there is; and as this case shows, not even filing a lawsuit guarantees they will. So the issue is that we are forced to rely on the "good faith efforts" of those being investigated to comply with requests. Instead, we should have an independent office, like that of the city auditor, with no other duty except to ensure full responsiveness.— August 17, 2017 10:15 a.m.
Faulconer’s next Scaramouch
I believe the term they now prefer is "twist physician"— August 16, 2017 11:51 a.m.
Glenn and Karen Doshay: Our son is not a monster
If you want to know why the son is a POS, just look at the parents. Now they're trying to blame his behavior on autism, which "[when researchers considered][1] individuals with ADHD or conduct disorder, an additional diagnosis of autism was actually found to reduce the risk of violent criminality, compared to individuals with ADHD or conduct disorder alone." “I would be lying if I said I did not feel some anger and resentment for all that we have gone through,” Glenn wrote. “I am upset with a media that has judged and misportrayed our family.” No Glenn, you've done this yourself by claiming you and your family are the victims in all this, not those hurt by your son. Maybe if *you* realized the importance of personal responsibility and had instilled it in your son, you wouldn't be here today feeling so "misportrayed."

SDG&E shocks solar users with rate change
Once again, the failure to cleanse the CPUC of Brown cronies is continuing to pay off big—for everyone except rate payers. Until we allow homeowners to cut their ties to the grid, we have no leverage against getting raped (just as often if not quite as hard) by the energy utilities.— August 15, 2017 10:40 p.m.
Perpetual war between Evergreen and the city
This level of city aggression in code and other ex post facto enforcement only occurs for two reasons: the person pissed off the wrong people, or they have something that someone powerful wants. While it sounds like there's a little bit of the former with Collins, one look at the map and the tell-tale phrase, "[place] the property up for sale at an asking price 'not more than two percent above comparable properties within eight miles'," is a dead giveaway that some developer expects this as a reward for his political contributions. Especially as there is "more than 500 acres of open space the city owns adjacent to the nursery," they're pulling every trick short of eminent domain to devalue his land to hand over for premium housing with pristine views.— August 14, 2017 10:33 a.m.
San Diego big labor’s deceit on propositions K and L
I couldn't agree more with Visduh. Even though I supported both measures, it's tactics like these that corrupt the democratic process and undermine faith in the system, and the punishment should fit those crimes. And what's so puzzling is why was cheating even necessary? [Measure K][1] had the mayor and a few councilmembers submit arguments against it, and [Measure L][2] had no arguments against it at all; and both were popular enough to be approved as overwhelmingly as they were without this fixing. Hope everyone involved realizes how needlessly they (further) ruined their own credibility and tainted valuable legislation.
